OHIO Staff and Faculty Hiring Process

Below is a comprehensive guide to PeopleAdmin, the University's applicant tracking system.

Hiring Process Overview

Job Descriptions - Classified & Administrative Positions

AFSCME 3200 Bargaining Unit Positions

Once approvals have been obtained, complete a Job Profile and submit to compensation@ohio.edu and copy your assigned HR Liaison.

Please NOTE: DO NOT post a position using an old posting. New postings must be “Created from Title.”

Administrative Positions

Once approvals have been obtained, when creating a new administrative job posting, select the appropriate job profile from the catalog, save a copy on your device, and complete the department specific sections (i.e. business title, department summary, preferred qualifications, work schedule/location) and send to compensation@ohio.edu and copy your assigned HR Liaison.

No changes to the core responsibilities or qualifications may be made.
If you’re unsure which profile is the best fit, contact compensation@ohio.edu for assistance with matching.
NOTE: DO NOT post a position using an old description, or Create a posting from an old posting. New Postings must be “Created from Title”.

Posting

We must document all employment actions in order to demonstrate that we have open and competitive hiring processes for all positions 1) that are longer than three days in duration; 2) that are not executive level positions; 3) OR that cannot be filled by internal competitive process (promotion).

This means that any position that does not meet one of these exceptions must be posted for a period of days, depending on the anticipated recruitment area.
For positions that we believe can be filled from an internal search, a transparent, competitive process of internal positing must be completed. We will work with departments to determine when an internal posting process, as opposed to a public positing process, can be used.

The hiring manager must create an electronic requisition at: . Additional training may also be requested by contacting UHR at (740) 593-1636 or uhr@ohio.edu.

Exceptions

There are some specific instances in which a position requisition may bypass the normal review and approval process. First, those pool postings which will have a secondary requisition created once ready to fill may be posted by UHR, as usual, without executive approval. Executive approval will happen before a hire, and upon or before the secondary requisition is generated. Final interviews shall not be extended until the committee approves the secondary requisition.

Additionally, fully grant-funded staff positions that qualify as “special appointments” under policy 40.106 do not need to be reviewed by the full executive committee. Should such a position lose partial or full funding, or should the department wish to transition the position to any other funding source at any time for any reason, the updated position must be submitted through the waiver process at which point, the executive committee will review the new requisition.

Please note: partially-grant-funded staff positions and all faculty positions regardless of funding source are NOT exempt and will follow the new standard review/approval process.

Waiver Request

If requesting a waiver of the posting requirement, please discuss with your HR Liaison and include the following information on the posting requisition:

Who is identified as a candidate?
How was the candidate identified as a candidate?
Were any other candidates considered?
What are the extenuating circumstances that prohibit an open and competitive search process?
Attach the resume of the candidate in the “Posting Documents” section of the requisition under “Waiver Resume”.

Recruitment & Advertising

Please refer to our Recruitment Guidelines for more information: /hr/hire-manage/guidelines-recruitment-selection.

Screening & Interviewing Process

Departments are responsible for conducting screening processes to determine qualified and finalist candidates. Screening and selection methods must be documented on the requisition. Screening methods should include a well-documented objective evaluation of candidate credentials against the required job qualifications.

Prior to inviting finalist candidates to the final screening stage (normally the on-campus interview), departments must get approval of their final pool. Complete the “Pre-Interview Candidate Selection Form” within the requisition, update applicant statuses to either “Selected for Interview” or “Not Interviewed, Not Hired” and submit the requisition for approval.

Selection & Offer Process

Following pool approval, departments should conduct final screening interviews with all approved finalists. This may include on-campus interviews or any other final screening steps to be conducted by the department. References of any potential offeree should be thoroughly checked. When the final decision is made, an offer of employment may be extended.

Faculty appointments

In consultation with the Planning Unit authority, hiring manager may extend verbal and official offers for employment. Offer letters should include the date the new faculty member is scheduled for University Orientation.

Staff - Administrative Appointments

Hiring manager may extend verbal offers of employment. Salary offers for both internal and external candidates must comply with compensation guidelines issued by UHR. Guidelines are documented on the Compensation websites: /hr/compensation-pay/new-hire-compensation and /hr/compensation-pay/changes-existing-compensation. UHR will coordinate official written offer in consultation with hiring manager.

As part of the negotiation process, being familiar with the University’s benefit package (information available online at /hr/benefits) and relocation policy (information available online at /policy/41-111 and /hr/benefits/relocation) can be extremely beneficial.

Staff - Bargaining Unit Appointments

Hiring manager may extend verbal offers of employment. Salary offers for both internal and external candidates must comply with the Collective Bargaining Agreements for the respective Bargaining Unit: /hr/labor-union-relations/collective-bargaining-agreements. UHR will coordinate official written offer in consultation with hiring manager.

Complete the Hire

In the online system, update the remaining applicant statuses to either “Interviewed, Not Hired” or “Recommended for Hire.” Complete the Hiring Form(s) for those candidates to whom offers have been extended and submit the Hiring Form(s) to Human Resources.

Unsuccessful candidates will receive an auto-generated regret email notification from the system. Departments are encouraged to send more personal notices to their candidates as well.

NOTE: Section 1 of Form I‐9 MUST be completed on start date. Section 2 must be completed within 72 hours of employment start date in order to be in compliance with this important Federal Regulation

Orientation and onboarding – Welcoming new employees Becoming part of OHIO

The first few weeks of the new employee’s experience will shape their lasting impression of ��Ƶ. Please be sure to make the new employee feel welcome in their new environment. Checking in with them regularly, assigning a mentor, providing departmental handbooks, are all good ways to help ease their transition. Additional information about both orientation and onboarding is available online via /hr/hire-manage/onboarding-steps-and-process.

Posting Documents

Additional documentation may be uploaded here including the position description (in Word format) and a resume if requesting a waiver of posting.

Budget Information

Note: If filling multiple positions of the same job, include the total FTE being requested

Applicant Documents

Click "Required" for those documents that are required by the applicant
Click “optional” if the document is not required
The "References" document type is for applicants to provide a listing of references only. This does NOT activate the online Reference Letter feature. It is recommend that if utilizing the Reference Letter feature, the References document type NOT be required as it causes confusion from applicants.
If "Other" document type is required, make sure to specify what type of document is required in the "Special Instructions to Applicants" field in the "Posting Details."

Reference Letters

Feature that collects letters of reference directly from the reference provider electronically, which may be viewed as a part of the application materials.

Applicants will be prompted for contact information of reference letter providers (volume determined by you by setting minimum and maximum number).
The reference provider receives an invitation via email to provide a recommendation and a unique link to upload their document.
Reference letters may be collected for all applicants or only for those of selected by the hiring manager.
Applicants do not have access to the uploaded reference letters.

Posting Specific Questions

Applicant questions can be utilized to assist in the applicant pre‐screening process based on minimum and preferred qualifications. Carefully crafted questions and responses can be effectively utilized:

for informational purposes only,
to rank or score applicants or,
To screen‐out applicants who do not meet the minimum criteria (example: PhD required).
For assistance with this feature, please contact University Human Resources Service Center (uhr@ohio.edu).

Guest User

Creates a unique account that can be utilized by Search Committee members to access applicant and posting information. Enter the search committee email addresses and click on “Update Guest User Recipient list”. Guest users cannot modify or change anything associated with the requisition. From the requisition Summary, an orange highlighted “Take Action on Posting” button appears in the upper right hand corner. There are four action options:

Keep working on this posting – this leaves the posting in Draft status and only the creator can access
Send to Departmental Review – this keeps the requisition at Hiring Manager level, but allows other designated departmental users access to the requisition
Planning Unit – this moves the requisition to the planning unit’s reviewer/approver
Regional Campus Dean – this is for regional campuses only to allow the Dean to review before submitting to the RHE approver

Pool Postings

Pool postings be utilized to fill positions that are ongoing throughout the year, have frequent turnover and have no changes in duties. These postings may remain open for up to 12 months. Active applications may be pulled from this posting anytime through the year.

Pool postings for positions serving an academic year should include language such as “We are accepting resumes for potential openings in (department) for the academic year 20XX-20XX. The need for these positions is undetermined at this time and is dependent on operational need including enrollment and staffing. If a need arises, the department will select candidates from this posting.”

Creating a Pool Posting

The process for creating a faculty or staff pool posting will follow the exact process as outlined above with the exception that the title of the requisition must note that it is a pool posting. For example, “Substitute Master Teacher (Pool)” or “Bus Driver (Pool)”

This posting will now be referred to as the “source” posting.

After all fields are completed select the orange “Take Action on Posting” and select “move to departmental review.” Once the posting is in departmental review, contact your HR Liaison via email so that they may review the pool posting and move it to “posted-public.” In alignment with past practice, departmental, planning unit, and Provost approvals are not needed for source pool postings – only for target postings (outlined below).

Creating a standard posting to link the applicants from the “source” posting

When you are ready to fill a pool vacancy, you will need to create a second, standard posting to which applicants from the pool posting can be linked. The new requisition will be referred to as the “target” posting.

To create your new target posting:

Click Postings
Click Faculty or Staff (depending on the position type)
Click “create new posting”
Click “create from posting”
Select the source pool posting to which candidate applied
Modify fields as appropriate (such as noting specific vacancy details and any additional qualifications)
Forward for approvals.

Once the target posting has been submitted to University Human Resources, your HR Liaison will copy all of the applicants from the source pool posting to the new target posting and will return the target posting to your queue for candidate evaluation.

Posting Content Guidelines

Titles

Administrative titles are approved by Compensation
Do not include acronyms that only OHIO uses such as Group I/II/III/IV, CFAO, IC2, etc.

Faculty titles

Keep them as standardized as possible and consistent with Faculty Handbook– may include the discipline name and tenure provisions as appropriate. The Faculty Handbook can be referenced via the following link: /faculty-senate/current-handbook.

Reference Letter Feature

Can be utilized to electronically solicit reference letters directly from the reference provider with no interference from the applicant – can be received for all applicants or only candidates chosen by the Hiring Manager – settings can be altered to accommodate preferences.

Generally only utilized for faculty positions or academic administrators who also hold tenure; if a tenure‐track position, utilizing the feature is recommended in order to keep all application materials in one place and accessible to all committee members.

Common Reference Letter Feature Issues/Examples:

Reference Letter feature: Is marked as “Yes,” but it appears from other posting language that only a list of references is desired rather than utilize the electronic reference letter feature to collect reference letters directly from the reference provider. Reference Letter feature should be marked as NO if you only want a list of references (requested in Applicant Documents instead).

Reference Letter Feature (sample explanation for hiring managers):

Issue: Reference letters are requested in the “Special Instructions” to be mailed or emailed manually.
Response: The Reference Letter feature in the system is a great feature that allows the reference providers to directly upload letters to the application materials. The applicants are prompted to enter contact information for the references, then the reference provider is sent an email with a unique link to directly upload a letter. When they do, you see the letter as a part of the applicant materials. This allows for all materials to be housed in one location accessible to all committee members.
Reference Letter Feature (sample feature promo): Wanted to make sure you were aware of this system feature in the event you may want to use it for this faculty position. The system can collect reference letters directly from the applicants’ reference providers. This works via an email with a unique link that is sent directly to the reference provider. It has been a well‐received feature for many tenure‐track searches. You can designate receiving letters for all applicants or only those chosen in the selection phase. This allows for all materials to be housed in one location accessible to all committee members.
Please let me know if you have questions and/or would like to utilize this feature.

Applicant Interest Cards

Allows applicants to “subscribe” to an automated email digest that notifies them about jobs posted in their interest categories
You must select at least one (1) Interest Card category in the “Settings” section of the requisition before being able to post the job, both for internal and external postings. You may select several categories if applicable.

Application Type:

4 Types ‐ Needs to compliment the Reference Letter Feature option chosen.
Generally recommend using the “Quick” application types if requiring a resume/CV
Comprehensive application types require the applicant to key‐in their education and employment histories.

Special Instructions

Include a statement such as, “Please complete the online application and attach required documents.”
If “required documents” include the “Other” document type, make sure to include a note here about what is expected to be uploaded for that document type.
Include a statement such as, “Applicants will be prompted to key‐in contact information for at least X# reference letter providers who will (or may) receive an auto‐generated email invitation to upload a recommendation utilizing a provided unique link.”
Consider adding a statement about the possibility of the reference request email hitting SPAM mailboxes such as, “Reference providers will receive an automatic email request with a unique link from the following address: uhr@ohio.edu. To avoid potential delays from this email being quarantined in a SPAM folder, please consider asking your reference providers to add this address to their address book."
Advise HM against using the Reference document type – applicants tend to get confused when asked to both key‐in references and also attach a list of references. If a HM wants both, make sure to point it out in the Special Instructions field.

Posting Exception (waiver of posting) requested?

If Yes, these will be reviewed by UHR.
Can be full waiver (candidate identified) or a partial waiver (post locally, university‐wide or internally only).
Should be a clear justification as to why a waiver is necessary or desired.

Position Vacancy Type

New position? Existing position changed? Existing positions no changes?
It is important that this is an accurate reflection between current position definition and future state definition. This field drives how the Position Management side of Oracle gets updated. Submitted information should be checked against current position management state in Oracle to ensure accuracy. Changes to existing position may include any of the following:
- Change to FTE
- Change to the Organization to which the position reports to Change to the Planning Unit to which the position reports
- Change in job category – faculty/admin/classified
- Change in Faculty Type (Group I, II, IV, Clinical)
- Pay Grade Change
- Classification change or title change
- # of months worked change

Advertised Salary

This field is published on the applicant site and therefore should not be left blank.
This field can also be used to highlight our benefits package. For ideas, please reference the examples below:
- Example 1: Minimum of $40K, commensurate with experience and credentials. Salary is accompanied by our generous university benefits such as tuition for self and dependents, a comprehensive insurance package (including but not limited to prescription, vision, dental, and life insurance), an excellent retirement plan including company contributions, parental leave, adoption reimbursement, and more. OHIO is also proud to offer wellness programs, on-site wellness facilities, and a generous employee assistance program. Additional information is available at /hr/benefits/.
- Example 2: Salary is commensurate with qualifications. The position is a nine-month non-tenure track appointment. The successful candidate will enjoy our university benefits package including tuition for self and family, a comprehensive insurance package (including but not limited to prescription, vision, dental, and life insurance), paid holidays and sick time, and an excellent retirement plan.

Pay Grade

For staff positions only ‐ should be confirmed by either current position information in Oracle or if a new job description, new PG should be confirmed from Compensation and documented in the History of the requisition.

Position Number

(Not needed for adjunct faculty positions) ‐ must be accurate as this is the information that populates the new employee’s assignment.

Job Description

Review to ensure that it reads well to an outside person – this is the field that applicants will read to learn about the position. Do not include acronyms common to OHIO or the higher education industry. Information to consider including:

Main purpose of the position
Departmental information
Key responsibilities of the position
Unique characteristics such as required travel, off‐site locations, etc.

Qualifications

For staff positions, language should be consistent with the Job Profile or Position Description on file – significant changes should be submitted for review to Compensation
For Faculty/Instructor positions: If specific degree required, be sure to specify if candidates who will obtain that degree by start date of the appointment will be considered. If so, suggest language such as “PhD in XYZ or related field must be obtained by start date of the appointment.”
It is common for academic areas to have an unspoken rule about not hiring recent graduates of their own programs into faculty positions. To be more transparent about this and to give HM’s more leverage in screening, you can suggest the following language:
- The _____College of____ values a wide variety of academic styles and philosophies and strives to further expand the perspectives of their faculty to enhance the student experience. Preference will be given to candidates offering a wide variety of experiences and educational backgrounds while also aligning with the department's and college’s academic goals.

Posting Open/End Dates

All FT Reg presidential appointments are to be national in scope, which requires a minimum 15 day posting period
Approvals for local searches may be made for 7 days (partial waiver of posting)
Internal staff postings should be 3‐5 days depending on the scope and size of org
Generally, classified positions are posted internally/university‐wide for a minimum of 3 days

Posting Documents

If a full waiver of posting requested, the individual’s resume should be attached
A place for Org chart (not required)
A place to attach any other document that we want to associate with a particular posting
Position Description document should be attached here for staff positions if a new or changed position to expedite Compensation evaluation.

Recruitment Plan

Important to be specific about all recruitment efforts – not just advertising – list all efforts which might include:
- Contacting colleagues or former colleagues to solicit recommendations of potential applicants
- Contacting peer institutions
- Contacting institutions with high graduation rates in a specific field – specify if institution yields high graduation rates of women or minorities
- Contacting past promising applicants – specify if targeting women or minorities
- Social media outlets targeted
- Recruitment efforts should be broad and exhibit creativity
- Include the language used in any advertisements in the Proposed Print Ad Copy – doesn’t have to match posting word‐for‐word, but should be consistent. Ads should be concise but contain at least the most basic information about the position.
- Group I Faculty ads should include at a minimum, the title, the basic duties and minimum qualifications

Budget Information

All fields should be completed; should be approved/verified by the unit’s budget manager.

Applicant Documents

Select from list either optional or required document types. If you select “Other” type as a required field, be sure to state in the Special Instructions what is expected to be attached for this document type. You can select the “Other” doc type as optional if you want to simply provide an outlet for applicants to attach something not specifically requested.

Reference Letters

If the reference letter feature was selected in Settings, this section should be completed to specify the number of references requested – a minimum and maximum can be specified. You can also provide a statement to the reference provider at this location – could be just a “thank you” or a specific list of the type of information you’d like to obtain about the candidate.

Posting Specific Questions

Depending on the position and the minimum qualifications associated with the position, specific screening questions can be a tool to aid in screening candidates.
Remember that applicants must fully meet the posted minimum qualifications so if there are absolute must‐ have minimum qualifications, adding a disqualifying screening question is a tool that can help make the screening process easier.
Make sure that the questions are tied to minimum or preferred qualifications or KSA’s. If a question is added that doesn’t follow the posting language, it may be a skill/qualification that should be added to the language or could be a need to revise the question.
Questions don’t necessarily have to disqualify based on responses, but can simply be a tool helpful in screening.
Point values can be assigned to progressively better response choices (i.e. 5 points for Less than 1 year of experience, 10 points for At least 1 year, but less than 3 years’ experience, etc.)
Open‐ended questions can also be asked to get responses from all candidates on targeted questions.

Pre-Interview Process

After the recruitment phase is complete, but before the final screening stage (normally the on‐site interview), approval of the finalist pool must be granted. Complete the Pre‐Interview Candidate Selection Form and update the status of all applicants.

PeopleAdmin

Step 1: Complete the Pre‐Interview Candidate Selection Form

Should be completed when the posting requisition is at the status of Closed

Open the requisition
From the requisition summary, the first section of the requisition should be “Pre‐Interview Candidate Selection Form”
Choose the Edit link beside the section header to open that section and to complete the form
When finished, choose Save, then return to the Summary

Step 2: Update the Status of Each Applicant

From the requisition Summary, go to the Applicants section
You may change a single applicant by clicking on the applicant’s name, and then choosing “Take Action on Job Application.”
You may also bulk transition a group of applicants:
Select the applicants you wish to update by clicking in the box to the left of the applicants’ names.
Hover over the grayed “Actions” button above the “(Actions)” column, and choose “Move in Workflow”
If changing the status of multiple applicants, select from “Change for all applicants” drop‐ down options and choose one state for all. If needed, you can then select unique statuses for each person. Some statuses require that a reason be chosen. If prompted, choose one reason code for all applicants, and then you should change each person individually to accurately describe the reason for each person’s transition.
NOTE: All applicants should be transitioned to either “Select for FINAL Interview/Selection Step” or “Not interviewed, not hired” or “Pre‐Interviewed, Not Hired” prior to submitting for approval.
When finished, choose “Save changes.”

Step 3: Submit interview pool for approval

When steps 1 and 2 are complete and the requisition is at the status of “Closed,” the requisition can be submitted to the Planning Unit (who will review and submit to the Office for Institutional Equity) or to Human Resources as needed.

Open the requisition and Hover over the orange “Take Action on Posting” link
Select either, “Submit Interview Pool to Planning Unit” (Faculty/Admin position types) or “Submit Interview Pool to HR” (Classified positions).
Note: If there are departmental protocols that require other approvals, those approvals can be noted manually on the “History” section of the requisition.
When the interview pool has been approved, the Hiring Manager should receive an email stating that the requisition is at the status of Interview Pool Accepted. Interviews may be scheduled and conducted.

Information from UHR for All Positions

When the Pre‐Interview Pool is submitted to HR for approval, the following items are reviewed to verify:

Applicants meet the minimum requirements as written in Posting; and
No candidate has active disciplinary measures on file.

Review process for non‐discrimination

Be clear about explaining the process and decision‐making in the Pre‐Interview Candidate Selection Form.
Articulate why an individual is “no longer considered” at any stage in the screening process (initial screening for minimum qualifications, phone interview (if part of process), on campus interviews and final selection).
The OFCCP stresses that these notations should be made in the context of the position qualifications and “contemporaneous” to decision‐making.
